Vlogger's DIY Catriona-inspired 'lava gown' wins internet's approval

Not everyone can get a Mak Tumang piece, so Cedricks Justine Blanco just created one himself.

The 23-year-old vlogger made his own version of Catriona Gray's famous lava gown with only P1,000 and a lot of creativity.

Cedricks told GMA News Online that he wanted to stand out at Tiktok's Halloween party so he decided to go as the Miss Universe 2018 queen.

Not finding a replica of the iconic red gown, he decided to make one himself. He spent P1,000 for the materials he needed, and simply altered his sister's gown.

"I just want to share my work sa Facebook, and nagulat ako, daming naka-appreciate," he said.

He added that it took him two to three nights to finish.

Catriona wore the show-stopping "lava gown" during the Miss Universe 2018 pageant, and it eventually became her coronation gown.
